The Subject Was Movies

So listen, if you're interested in hearing me shoot off my mouth about a topic I don't normally dwell on in here, check out my interview over at the Film Experience blog. Far better than my responses, if you ask me, are Nathaniel's graphics to accompany them.

Such a clever man. It makes you wonder why he doesn't knit.

Coffee In, Coffee Out

If you're a long-time reader you may remember this cartoon (now re-drawn).

I hesitated to even post it, but when I did a bunch of you asked for it on a coffee mug. Here it is.

I don't know why Cafepress makes the close-ups of mug designs look so dreadful on screen, by the way. All I can tell you is the artwork shouldn't be pixelated on the finished product even though it appears so on the screen.

I also don't know whey they changed the template for tote bags and never bothered to tell me, especially considered the flood of spam messages I get from them on other topics of no import. I've got to go and re-do all the bags. Ah, the life of the bourgeois shopkeeper.

I'm so with you on Titanic, I'd buy that DVD too. Do you ever watch Mystery Science Theater 3000? There ought to be more commentaries like that.

But I'm with Dolores over the costumes; for me it's Adrian every time.

I've never watched Angels and Insects because Patsy Kensit annoys me, but I like the book so your recommendation has persuaded me to add it to my rental list, along with the parrots. What a week it's been, Aunt Purl asking for movie recommendations and you giving them. Have a fab weekend.

'Rip both arms off my seat" you are a scream...great interview, and I too love the parrots of telegraph hill...I like the movies everyone else thinks are too slow, they are so unamerican....Bagdad Cafe being one of my favourite and dinner with Andre

Great interview! When "Follow the Fleece" debuts, I'll camp out overnight for tix. But frankly, I think Yul is a little long in the tooth to play you, but Vin Diesel--he'd be close. Tom Cruise's head is the wrong shape ... Bob Hoskins might be a fit.

Oh, I LOVE "Angels & Insects"! I describe it to people and they think I'm nuts, but thanks to Netflix I can prove I didn't make it up.

"Cold Comfort Farm"... I think that's a fave of Brenda's, right?

And of course we can't forget Sly Stallone slippin' those stitches in "Demolition Man," one of the only action films I've ever seen. Can't say I really enjoyed it, but that development certainly improved the viewing experience.

I've got to admit that Ben a few years ago would have played you well... but Yul.... sighgreat choices!.I'm with you re Feinnes too... he should stay in period costume.Come to think of it, much of the world should live in period costume. I still have days when I wish I could.Except for the corsets of course. I do like to breathe

I've only just caught up with my blog reading - your shawl is the most wondrous thing I have ever seen - the thought and planning and wishes for her, let alone the knitting, are the ultimate expression of love for your tiny, beautiful niece, Abigail. I hope you get your wish to see Abigail's children wrapped in the love of your shawl. Grandma Flea
